Dr Nelleke IJssennagger-van der Pluijm, managing director and researcher at the Fryske Akademy, has been awarded one of the ten KNAW Early Career Partnerships (ECP). With this KNAW Early Career Partnership, researchers can explore innovative ideas or methods for research. They will receive an amount of €10,000 to organise an interdisciplinary meeting.
Layers of meaning
IJssennagger-van der Pluijm is very pleased that she has been awarded the ECP: “It gives me a wonderful opportunity to further expand the interdisciplinary collaboration. In my case it is about focusing on the coast and tidal area as a holistic research theme and as a landscape of layers of significance, which should not compete with each other. It is a great opportunity for collaboration in Fryslân – in the first place with Prof Theunis Piersma (BirdEyes), but also with others – and internationally. Because this theme connects Fryslân with the whole world.”
